PHI. ASSEMBLY NEW EAST BUILDING 7:15 P.M. DI SENATE NEW WEST BUILDING . 7:00 P.M. VOLUME XL CHAPEL HILL, N. O, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1932 NUMBER 71 Gmtt x H Tuiirtrimc? E TT y O A DRASTIC CHANGES MADE IN TERMS FOR LOAN FUNDS University officials Anxious to Increase Efficiency to Meet Financial Emergency. The present economic situa tion in this state has forced 'the University to make several drastic changes in the terms of the loan funds in order that they might successfully meet the emergency for students and the University as well. , Bank failures and continued economic depression during this quarter are endangering many students' chances to continue work at the University, and the administration is anxious to do all in its power to enable such men to remain in college. The loan fund is proving itself of great use at the present, and University officials are anxious to increase its "efficiency. Beginning this quarter all loans will be granted to estab lish credit forthe borrower in the University Business Office to "be used in payment for tuition and fees, dormitory room rent, board at Swain hall, or books .and supplies from the Book Ex change. Exceptions to this rule, -will be made only in very un usual circumstances. The interest for the first six months of the loan will be de ducted in advance, and if the money is repaid by installments, the amount of the interest due will be the same for any unpaid balance as for the full amount of the loan. All students are urged to make every effort to stay in the Uni versity. Some loan funds are still available for assistance in such cases. Those students who are interested in them should apply as soon as possible in room 205 South. Assembly Notice Assembly exercises will be conducted during the winter quarter just as they were dur ing the fall, and all men will keep their same seat assign ments. The same rules for at tendance will be in effect. New men who do not have seat assignments should re port to 204 South building to get them, and anyone who is expected to attend assembly and finds it impossible to do so should go by the same of fice and be excused.

A multiplicity of fac tors have served to reduce the oldest state university in North America to the most abject pov erty, comparatively speaking, that it has met with in its one hundred and thirty-six years of existence. Never an affluent institution, its prof essoriat and administra te officials have struggled val iantly for more than a century inorder that it might someday arrive at the very top of the edu cational world. With the attain ing of an $875,000 annual appro priation and election to the ex clusive and effete Association of American Universities some years back, both the state and the contingent recognized a new ly arrived educational luminary. Not long was this star to shine with the reflected brilliance of, the extraordinary intelli gences the University contained. The institution was lifted to its height by a sudden patriotic wave that swept the Old North State to the front ranks of good road stales and outstanding higher educational institutions. In a decade a willing people joy ously shouldered the tax burden incurred in picking up a social lag that had been going on for a century. Then came the worst break in' the history of the state the depression. Land values from which an ad valorem tax had been pour ing money into the state treas ury shrank to Lilliputian propor tions. Professional men in the $20,000 a year class, once large contributors to the $28,000,000 yearly budget of the common wealth, now scratch their heads over the problem of finding the wherewithal to pay their next month's rent. The income tax is said to be higher here than in all but some half, dozen states. Once advertised as the Mecca of industries seeking cheap operat ing costs, promotion companies have been forced to soft-pedal our ever increasing taxation. There are some industries, particularly the tobacco indus try, which are making more and more money each year, but when it is realized that the R. J. Reyn olds Company is reputed to pay one-sixth of the total cost of the state government, and further that the national tax on this same company is many times that of the state tax, it becomes a problem of just how much in decency political divisions can take from this particular indus try. . Tens of millions of state wealth are buried in the so-called hidden securities, such as tax free bonds. There is still wealth, however, in the state of North Carolina. Under our what-proves-to-be ef- ficient-state-supported school and road system, and county system had North Carolina been in step with progress fifty years ago, and not been forced to strain in catching- up as it did after the World War, this state would, (Continued on page two) Institutions Warned To xpect 30 Per Cent Cut -3 Change Of Address The Jusiness department of the Daily Tar Heel requests that all subscribers who have changed address since last quarter report such a change to the office in Graham Memorial, and that the old address as well as the new be turned in, as otherwise the paper will not be delivered.

Lewis, RRADSHAW ASKS STUDENT AID TO HELP UNIVERSITY Dean of Students Speaks on "Money" and Gives Pointers to Relative Financial Stress. Charles L. Wagner, musical and dramatic impresario, is known for always picking the best. With uncanny foresight he has turned out brilliant suc cesses in practically every field of entertainment drama, musi cal comedy, opera, 'and the con cert field. In depressions and out this man continues to make a hit with the theatrical pub lic. The Daily Tar Heel, wonder ing at his almost universal suc cess, interviewed him upon the occasion' of his accompanying Mme. Clare Clairbert, one of his latest finds, to Duke university just before the holidays for the purpose of Clairbert's first southern concert. His Technique Wagner was much . amused that anyone thinks that his work should have incorporated in it anything phenomenal. "If you want to know why the arusis I have been fortunate enough to sponsor have gone over during the time that I have been operat ing bureaus, the answer is sim ply that the rules I employ in their selection are the opposite of those which music masters and technicians use. I have al ways judged people who come president of the General Alumni before me on three things: brains, personality, and indus try. Some of the very best technicians are absolute flops because of a fatal lack of per sonality with which to win and Graham, hold audiences, as well as brains Graham ' - t association, will preside over the exercises. '.After, the invocation, which will be delivered by Bishop J. K. Pfohl, a classmate of E. President Frank will introduce the Dean F. F. Bradshaw chose a timely subject, "Money," for his talk in assembly yesterday morning. "The new year greeted the University by bringing news of a thirty percent cut in the state appropriation," he stated. Dean Bradshaw proceeded to explain that this was not the only finan cial problem with which the Uni versity had to contend; for, as he showed by statistics, various other incomes upon which this Green Will Address Club Paul Green will address the regular meeting of the sociology club, Alpha KappaJDelta, tonight at 7:30 in the club room. He will lead an informal discussion of his treatment of the negro in The House of Connelly, Mem bers are urged to be prepared to contribute to the discussion. The state appropriation for the University, which was dras tically cut by the 1931 assembly, suffered further a reduction by order of the budget bureau is sued December 30. The ap propriations of all state depart ments and institutions were similarly reduced. The heads of the departments and institutions were told in a memorandum not to expect more than seventy per cent of their legislative appropriations from the state during the 1931-33 biennium. Since the University has been operating for the six months of the fiscal year, begin ning July 1 on a budget based upon its legislative appropria tions, actually it must effect a saving of sixty per cent in . operations the rest of the year to maintain a balanced budget. President Frank Porter Graham, when approached about the situation by a reporter from the Daily Tar Heel, affirmed that he ha no statement to make. His only information about the cut, he said, was that contained in the memorandum, the details of which have been published in the state news papers. Budget bureau allotments for the third quarter of the present fiscal year beginning January 1, which went to the state treas- " urer's office, reflect the reduc ( Continued on last page) Daily Tar Heel Begins Survey Of Institutions In University Service - ' o Workings of Publications Union Board Explained as Providing Efficiency in Employment of Student Managers Of Campus Pubilcations. o (EDITOR'S NOTE: ' In the same vein in which a survey of University courses was presented before the holidays, the Daily Tar Heel begins with this issue a comprehensive summary of campus institutions with the idea of causing every citizen of the University to become better acquainted with the policies and systems of operation of his service organizations.)

As a remedy for the situation, which is bound to concern every student, Dean Bradshaw urged four measures: first, that stu dents pay -their University bills as soon as possible ; second, that students about to drop out be cause of lack of finances talk over their problems with him at 205 South building ; third, that students having any surplus m their allowances save what they are not able to make use of until they need it; and, last, that stu dents make any contributions to loan funds which they may be able to spare. "There's no use getting de pressed," - the dean said, "we m.ust help the University to fi nance itself." in maintaining student manage ment in publications with the full participation of undergrad uates. The organization of the board is based on the plan in volving a hold-over faculty member to serve as treasurer of all publications, whose duty has been and is to supervise the col lection and expenditure of every penny employed in publishing the four campus literary organs. His accounts are audited to further insure efficiency by a certified public accountant an nually. The' findings of the audit are open at all times to the inspection of any student. ' Board Membership In keeping with the freedom allowed undergraduate publica tions in the University, the board is composed of three students elected annually from the jun ior and senior classes and one from the student body at large together with' two faculty men who serve two year terms. The board has complete charge of the business functions of pub lications with no authority over editors in regard to editorial matter. Editorial responsibil ity is entrusted in the care of the four editors from the Daily TaK Heel, Yackety Yack, Caro lina Magazine, and Carolina Buccaneer, who are elected an nually by the student body, and whom, the student body for the sake of efficiency must rely upon for fairness, accuracy and in telligent and decent use of free dom as it does rely in the case of the president of the student body upon honesty and integ rity. ' '' Members of xthe Publications Union board are chosen by vote of the student body at the spring elections. Three are chosen to serve, nominations being made in the campus auditorium two days preceding election. (Continued on last page)
